elLRERT.s HYPOTHESIS.

An Explanation of the Phenomena of Ter
restriaI Ma gnetism.
The phenomena of terrestrial mag
netism are explained by regarding the
earth as a great magnet of irregular
structure, so that its magnetism is
somewhat unequally distributed over
the entire mass Spheres have been
formed of large masses of loadstone,
which so act on small dipping needles
carried over their surface as to give re-
suits approaching in character the IT.
regular lines expressing the magnetic
elements of the earth. The SUPPOSE
ton that the earth was a great magnet
was first advanced by DIR. William Gill
bert, who was Queen Elizabeth's physi-
clan, in 1000. Though there have been
number of hypothesis concerning
the distribution of tho centers of mag
netism through the eRrth's mass, phil
osophers are generally agreed that
Gilbert's hypothesis is correct The
dip of the magnetic needle which
locates the magnetic pole was first
noted about 1876. In the northern
hemisphere the north end of the needle
points downward, making an angle
with the horizon; in the southern
hemisphere the south pole of
the magnet points downward. This is
what is called the dip of the needle.
This downward inclination amounts.
at the latitude and longitude of New
York, to an angle Of 73 degrees with
/ the horizon. If tho needle is carried
nOrthward and westward from this

west, we reach point where the
needle takes an exactly perpendicular
/ position. This phenomenon was firsi
/ noted by Commodore Ross in 1882, end
this point is called the north magnetic
pole of the earth. 1t is inferred from
observations on the dip in the south
/ ern hemisphere that a south magnetic
/ pole-where the needle viii be vertical
with the south pole downward-exists
about latitude 20 deg. south and longi-
tude I25 deg. east of Greenwich, but
no explorer has ever reached this
I point. There is also n line about mid
way between those two poles. where
the needle does not dip, but holds a
truly horizontal position. This Is
known as the magnetic equator. 1t is
very irregular line, passing around
the earth in the tropical regions. and
crosses the geographic equator at four
points. 1t has been located with con-
siderable accuracy by Observers

GROUND THE STUMP"

The Augusta (Ga.) Chronicle has it put
up in this way "The country will not
place much confidence in the Mormon
Constitution forbidding polygamy within
the boundaries of the new State. The
convention is entirely composed of the
Mormon Church. The purpose of the
Mormons is to give modern illustration
of the Trojan horse. When the provisions
in regard to the admission of new State
have been complied with in the case of
Utah, Congress can hardly refuse her
admission into the Union as a member
of the family of States. The Mormons
have accepted the situation, but we fear
not in good faith. 10 use an old phrase,
they are merely whipping the devil
around the stump"

THOSE DISPATCHES.

The Laramie Boomerang is consider
ably exercised over the dispatches sent
from Salt Lake recently, and it lays the
blame to the Associated Press in the fol-
lowing terms: "The tone adopted
within the past few days by the Associa-
ted Press has reused suspicion that
Mormon money has been put where it
will do the most good, and that hence
forth, the source of information at the
fountain head OF which Mr.. William
Henry Smith stands guard, will not fur
nish the public with an unadulterated
article for consumption. 1t will not take
the average American long to tumble to
this little racket, and kilograms sent out
from Salt Lake City which represent the
lion and the lamb as cohabiting within
the walls Of the New Jerusalem will be
received with grain Of allowance. The
Associated Press was once before made a
tool Of in the effort to kill off Arthur and
Conkling, at the time of Garfeld's assas-
sination and it had the effect of driving
into retirement the ablest and most in
corruptible man in the United States
Senate, but it cannot tow the filthy crew
of Latter-day Saints into power, nor seat
the subjects of King John Taylor in the
American Congress"

THE CASS CASE.

The Cass case, over which so much has
been said in our telegraphic columns, has
at last been explained by special which
appeared few days ago in the Denver
NeUs, and it discloses a deplorable con-
dition OF morals in London which cannot
fail to be surprise to Americans. Miss
Cass, a respectable girl, was arrested
and treated grossly, solely because she
was walking through certain part Of
London at the eve of night. This leads
to the disclosure that section of that
city which is considered respectable
during the day, is turned over at night
to the most abandoned profigacy as a
parading ground. Also that the worst
vice has been countenanced and protect
ed by the police, many of whom have
drawn regular pensions from prosti-
tutes The shame has been brought
prominently before parliament and has
made commotion in the Tory cabinet
which will probably end in ousting the
home Secretary, Matthews.

DR.. McGLYNN.

The rant in which DIR. McGlynn in
dulged at the New York labor meeting
on Sunday night, was anything but be-
coming in a man who, but few hours
before, was recognized as a holy priest
of the church he SO bitterly denounced.
McGlynn's actions for many months past
showed that he was simply begging for
accommodation, and then when it
came he did his best to turn
it to his advantage and to a
certain extent it must be said that he
succeeded. The wild applause with
which he was greeted at the meeting
mentioned above, was an indication of
the feeling that he had worked up among
his followers by posing as a martyr. Nc
Glynn was given every opportunity by
the Pope to explain his position and to
show why he should act as he did, but
he spurned these offers and now asks
the world to believe that he has
been ill-used. In his talk he
stated that he was communicated with
out a hearing, thus inferring that ne
thought the Pope should have come to
America in order to hear what the priest
| had to say for himself.
OF course no church has a right to in
terfere with the political belief of its
members, but the place of priest is in
the pulpit, and not on the platform at a
howling ward meeting. Dr. McGlynn has
proven untrue to his church and untrue
to himself, and he should not expect the
sympathy of the better class of people.

KALAKAUA'S TROUBLE.

The explanation of the present trouble
in the Sandwich Islands is said to be
found in the fact that the king had of
late resorted to very disreputable prac-
tees in order to keep up the requisite
good feeling in his Golfers.
Tong Kee, a Chinese rice grower and
financier, wished to obtain monopoly Of
the opium trade in the islands and offered
Kalakaua $75, 900 for the right. The king
accepted the offer, sagely demanding
cash and refusing checks, and used the
money and then gravely informed
Mr.. Kee that his cabinet would
not consent to the sale of the privilege.
A few days afterwards, however, the
monopoly was awarded to another gentle
man, who is said to have paid $50, 900
for it. Tong Kee was naturally enraged,
and has been stirring up the discontent-
ed classes to revolt against king who is
so corrupt and who has SO little regard
for his word. The result shows that his
efforts have been eminently successful,

THOSE RICHMOND SPEECHES.

1t is altogether probable that the gen.
tlemen who made such unwarrantable
speeches at the Richmond banquet at
which Massachusetts party of G. A. r..
was entertained by the ex-confederate
veterans of Lees army never smelled
powder, or heard the roar OF cannons ex-
cept at a safe and convenient distance.
\ The real fighting men OF the South have
as little bitterness, as the men to whom
they surrendered. They accept the re-
suit Of the war, and their actual senti-
ments were well illustrated at the
Gettysburg meeting where the survivors
OF the Philadelphia Brigade and of Pick
ett's division marched arm in arm to
the music OF Union airs and beneath the
old flag-as twas and as it always will
be, save as additional stars shall be added
to it. These speeches recall an incident
of General Lee, who, one day after the
war, was walking down Pennsylvania
avenue in Washington, and was intro
eCsced to a Confederate colonel" who
